Trash Pickup

Residents of East Stroudsburg, Mount Pocono and Delaware Water Gap all have municipal pickup up. That is, one trash company serves the whole municipality on a set day of the week.

Residents of Chestnuthill and Polk townships have the option of taking their trash to a special township trash drop off.

People who live anywhere else in the county, but not in a private community, are responsible for arranging their own trash pick up.

If you live in a private community, contact your homeowners association for information about trash pick up.

Another option is hauling your own trash to the Grand Central Sanitation Landfill in Pen Argyl (800) 225-5930.

The Yellow Pages is a good place to find trash haulers. Look under "Rubbish."
